When to Call for Emergency Tree Service
A tree has fallen on your home or structure. This is a safety and property emergency. Even if the tree isn’t fully through the roof, the weight can cause progressive structural damage, especially if it rains. Call us immediately, then call your insurance company.
A tree is blocking your driveway or road. You can’t get your car out, emergency vehicles can’t get in. We’ll cut it up and clear the path.
A tree is leaning against power lines. Don’t touch it. Don’t go near it. Call your power company first to de-energize the line, then call us to remove the tree.
A large limb has broken and is hanging overhead. A hanging limb — sometimes called a “widow maker” — can drop at any time without warning. Keep people and pets away from the area and call for removal.
A tree has been uprooted and is leaning. An uprooted tree still standing is extremely dangerous. The root ball can shift at any moment, bringing the entire tree down in an unpredictable direction.
What to Expect
When you call our emergency line, here’s what happens:
Immediate response. We answer the phone, get the details, and dispatch a crew as quickly as possible.
Safety assessment. Our crew evaluates the situation, identifies hazards (power lines, gas lines, structural instability), and creates a plan before making any cuts.
Removal and stabilization. We remove the tree or limbs causing the immediate danger. If the full job requires daylight or additional equipment, we’ll stabilize the situation and schedule the completion.
Documentation. We photograph the damage before and after removal. This helps with your insurance claim.
After the Emergency: Insurance Tips
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover tree removal when a tree damages an insured structure. Here are some tips:
- Take photos of everything before cleanup begins
- Save all receipts for tree removal and any temporary repairs
- Your tree service company does not need to be approved by your insurance company ahead of time — get the tree off your home first
- File your claim as soon as possible
